One thing to look for is a Western Digital 1781/83 controller. That's the one
they advertised (I hope they shipped 'em) in their 1982 databook for use with
M^2FM. The fact I've never seen one doesn't suggest you'll have much luck, but
if you do see one, that's the one that handles that particular modulation.
